Abstract
A method for transitioning between user profiles in an electronic user device during use of the electronic user device wherein the electronic user device comprises a fingerprint sensor operatively connected to a touch sensor of the electronic user device is disclosed. The method comprises sensing (), by the fingerprint sensor, at least a part of a fingerprint at a determined position and area of a detected touch, and determining (), by a fingerprint controller configured to control the fingerprint sensor, whether the sensed part of the fingerprint corresponds to a registered user of the electronic user device. The method further comprises, when the sensed part of the fingerprint corresponds to a registered user of the electronic user device, authenticating () the registered user based on the sensed fingerprint, and applying (), by a settings controller configured to control the settings of the electronic user device, settings of a user profile associated with the registered user in the electronic user device. Corresponding computer program product, apparatus, and system are also disclosed.
